"Brom, I can't really say anything about new team-compositions right now...but as a part of your squad is already around and partially grounded...can you please take a look at the downed Hiltorel fighter? It didn't explode yet, perhaps we can salvage equipment out of it. And in any case, it would be a valuable piece of tech to bring back to the Nemesis."

((You can use your MFM again, and it's 100% functional at full capacity. Your OS down means you are incapable of doing things like running system diagnostics, and you are much more vulnerable to hack attacks, should you ever come across any.))

Brom, Why I would want to change Frank for useless Lemons?
Bob no even like lemons, Bob likes sweet, not sour...

"Lemons is only useless in the air, Bob. he's more skilled at fighting on the ground (which is where you're headed) than Frank is.
Frank is more useful in the air than Lemons, which with Alpha being the air squad is something we need. Alpha has suffered due to a lack of anti-air firepower.
That's why you've had to help us. Lemons will help to keep Beta from suffering on the ground.
That is why I want us to swap. It will increase the survivability of both squads."

"I don't have any place to put salvaged equipment, Frank. Saoirse would be the better choice for that.
If you really think that there's something salvageable on that scrap heap though, I can still fly down an have a look."

"Miles, this should go without saying, but I think it'd be best if you retreat for now. Let us handle that last squid.
Buck? How are those repairs coming?"

"This is less about useful salvage back to the Nemesis, but more a measure because we might be able to use the parts for our imminent repairs and to keep the fact in mind that there are crews of 2 in these ships. It wouldn't do to have that one shoot at us because we let our guard down, no? And perhaps we can use it to get a peek at their comms...All advantages we might be able to put to good use!"

Fly over to where Miles and his hostile fighter are.
Fire the MFM at the hostile once in optimal range.
Hack them to hamper their maneuvering thrusters.
Get behind cover.
Keep an eye out for possible hostile reinforcements
If additional hostiles are spotted
-Get behind cover.
If the last remaining hostile is defeated
-regroup with Brom

"My "stupid squad" put itself together before I was in a position where I could choose.
Had I chosen my members, taking out those fighters wouldn't have been an issue.

As for why you should swap for Lemons, your survival depends on it.
Your stubbornness is endangering your life, and the lives of everyone here.
If that's not incentive enough, then allow me to make you a deal. If you swap Frank for Lemons (which again will be beneficial for both squads as most of us value our lives), I will make something for Timmy when we get back to the Nemesis."

(("Timmy" is not a typo, and is instead an intentional mispronunciation on Brom's part, to continue something I've been doing since the tryouts.))

"Alright, Frank. I'll go down and have a look. Just don't expect me to bring anything back."

"My MFM is up n' runnin' again, so I'd consider that a success. Them squids are gonna feel my fury now!"

"Excellent. When you're ready, you can join up with the rest of the squad. Just try to avoid getting hit in the future."

Get within 1 1/2 kilometers of the last remaining enemy fighter.
If said fighter is still up, shoot it once with my railgun.
((Below is stuff to be used after firing, or if the fighter was destroyed before I could get to it))
Fly down to the intact crashed fighter and land, then start a systems diagnostic to see what sort of damage I've taken.
While the diagnostics are running, grab my gear and approach the crashed fighter with my pistol and shield up.
If everything's dead, take a quick look over the wreckage to see if there's anything worth salvaging.
If one of the squids is somehow still alive, shoot it once with my pistol.

"Lemons, you go and get your ship repaired. Run a ship diagnostic if you still have a working computer.
And try to get acquainted with Beta's members. You'll be joining them soon provided I can get Bob to cooperate.
If by some bizarre chance I manage that, you will have the opportunity to be something other than a decoy.
That expensive equipment you bought will finally have a use."

By the rising of the moon, by the ri-
"Hmm? Oh, didn't any of you guys think of bringing a cargo pod?
I can tag along if you want, guess we're stopping to get people some repairs anyway."

I fire a bubble shot at the last remaining enemy fighter, then get back into cover.
When it is destroyed, I fly down to the crashed enemy fighter.
If there are still living enemie(s) in it, I try to stun them with electricity from my electro psyamp.
In the likely case there aren't, I check the wreckage for something interesting that's still salvageable, and put it in my cargo pod (using my whacky stick or grav amp to get it loose if needed)
